Energy efficiency
GlossaryDefinition
Energy efficiency is the measure of how effectively energy is converted into useful work. In technical systems, it expresses the ratio between the output (such as cooling performance or electrical power) and the total energy consumed. High efficiency means less energy is wasted as heat or loss during operation.
Context
At Vikinor, energy efficiency is not only a performance target — it’s part of our design philosophy. Every product, from DC power systems to cooling units and shelters, is engineered to deliver maximum output with minimal energy consumption.
By optimizing airflow, insulation, and electronic components, our solutions reduce energy costs, extend equipment life, and minimize environmental impact — critical for telecom and industrial operators managing remote or high-demand sites.
Technical insight
In telecom infrastructure, energy efficiency is often expressed through power usage effectiveness (PUE) and system loss metrics.
- DC power systems reduce conversion losses by distributing power directly at 48V DC.
- Cooling systems use variable-speed fans and smart temperature control to lower power draw.
- Insulated enclosures maintain stable internal conditions, minimizing cooling cycles.
Vikinor’s integrated systems are tested to ensure that energy efficiency improvements translate into real-world savings and reliability under extreme conditions.
